Die Struck Key Chains

Die Struck Key Chains, custom shape in solid brass or copper.
After your final artwork approval, a custom stamping die is created to transfer your image to the brass material. The finished piece can be plated with Black, Gold, Silver or Antique finishes and is then sand blasted and hand polished to give you a jewelry quality key chain.

We prefer to accept .AI or .EPS graphic file in Black & White
with no colours or shades of Grey.

subject to a $70.00 per change charge.

Artwork for repeat orders

We will keep your artwork on file for future orders for a period of two
years.

Artwork approval

A pre-production paper proof of your logo or message is sent to you for
review, and a signed approval copy is required before we start production.

No. Because a fax does not print exact straight lines, and we do not recognize it as
camera-ready artwork, the faxed logo can be used as a guide only to verify the electronic artwork
and can not be used for production.
